A couple of days back, Karan Johar who is baking the film released the poster and introduced the new star kids, Jahnavi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar on his social media handles.

In an interview with a leading agency, Shashank said, "The basic premise is of differences in caste, honour killing and what it means to survive in that world and I feel that is the conflict that is alive all across India, you will hear stories like that. So in that sense, the basic premise (of Dhadak and Sairat) is same. But there are variations. My story is based on another setup It is (set) in Rajasthan. It comes with its own challenges, conflicts and style of a love story."

Talking about the posters he said, "It wasn't tough to get the poster look for the film as we were sticking to the story that we have written and the world that we have created. Even the idea of the poster was to remain as honest as possible to the film that we want to make."

Shashank further added, "We are adapting Sairat into the world that we want to. The focus entirely was to present them (Janhvi and Ishaan) as the characters of the film."

Dhadak is slated to release on July 6, 2018.
